Is this satire?

It's a shocking state of affairs. I hope for your country. The US has many brilliant and intelligent people I have no idea how it has come to this

The main point β€˜London is gentrified and too expensive’ has been well made elsewhere. My question: why would you WANT to bring a child up in zone 2? Air quality,safety, what 600k could get you further out? I grew up in Devon and a 1hr commute to work is not extraordinary

This isn't satire. This is a real headline published in the UK.

Why don't we rename the @houseofcommons.parliament.uk to "The House of the People" while we're at it

Burnham's Britain: King of the North on how he would 'rewire' Westminster - LabourList Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham delivers a radical argument on how Westminster needs to change through some major reforms

Highly commend @andyburnham.bsky.social serious endorsement of a "Senate of the Regions and Nations" - it will lead to increased engagement and a sense of national unity - @houseoflords.parliament.uk is stuffy and needs renaming at the very least
